Living Well in “Babylon” (Jeremiah 29) | Waiting for Messiah

Living Well in Babylon: In Jeremiah 29, God told the exiles in Babylon to build lives: marry, have children, plant gardens, and seek the peace of the city—not to withdraw or stir rebellion. That same wisdom applies today: while we wait for Yeshua’s return (we have signs, not times), we’re called to live faithfully, be productive, and represent God well in the world.

Recreating 1st Century Christianity: Church Councils, Sabbath Change & Following Yeshua

First Century Christianity: Why did mainstream Christianity adopt doctrines that conflict with the Bible? In this short, I share my journey after leaving Catholicism—examining the 300s church councils, how authority was claimed, and why changing the Sabbath matters. The New Testament model was simple: follow Yeshua, walk out Torah as He did, and test everything by Scripture. If you’re seeking authentic, first-century faith, this is for you.

Why are We First Century Christians?

Here are some testimonials from our congregation on why we are first century Christians and what that looks like!

Romans 2–3 Explained: The Law Reveals Sin, but Righteousness Comes by Faith

Romans 2–3 Explained: The Law Reveals Sin, but Righteousness Comes by Faith

In this Bible study through Romans 2:17–3, we follow Paul’s argument that religious identity and outward signs can’t justify anyone—God looks at the heart. The Law exposes sin and stops every mouth, but God’s righteousness is revealed through faith in Jesus the Messiah.

  • Romans 2:17–29: teaching others vs teaching yourself; circumcision of the heart
  • Romans 3:1–8: God’s faithfulness, human unbelief, and “let us do evil that good may come”
  • Why God’s wrath and justice matter
  • Romans 3:9–20: “none righteous” and how the Law defines sin
  • Romans 3:21–26: justification by grace, faith in Jesus, and propitiation (mercy seat / atoning sacrifice)
  • Cross-references mentioned: Psalms, Isaiah, Proverbs, Matthew 5:17, Revelation 14:12, Numbers 15

If this study helped you, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone walking through Romans.

Yeshua and Judaism: When Did Christianity and Judaism Really Split? (The Mid-300s “Parting of the Ways”)

Yeshua and Judaism: Many assume Christianity and Judaism separated almost immediately after the first century. In this teaching, we examine Scripture and history showing the “parting of the ways” was not a clean early break—and that major pressure to separate (including Sabbath/Sunday disputes) intensified in the mid-300s. We also cover Second Temple Judaism vs. Rabbinic Judaism, the synagogue’s role in spreading the gospel, and why Torah reading and Sabbath practice remained central for early believers.

The Millennials are Right: This world needs a Jubilee

Everything is too expensive and the next generations will likely never have the quality of life that previous generations did. Part of this is due to us never following Torah.

Taking the Name in Vain: What Exodus 20:7 Really Means

What does it truly mean to “take the name of the LORD in vain”?

In this teaching on Exodus 20:7, we explore how God’s Name is far more than pronunciation—it represents His character, authority, and reputation. Scripture shows that the Name is profaned not only by careless words, but by behavior and teaching that misrepresents the Creator before the world. This study examines the commandment through Torah, the prophets, and the example of Yeshua.

Discover what “taking God’s Name in vain” truly means according to Exodus 20:7. This teaching explains how God’s Name represents His character, authority, and reputation—and how misrepresenting Him profanes the Name.

New Beginnings in Scripture

New Beginnings in Scripture

The Days of Unleavened Bread reveal a powerful biblical pattern of renewal, obedience, and cycles of new beginnings that runs throughout Scripture.

In this teaching from the final day of Unleavened Bread, we explore how living out the Torah brings a depth of understanding that academic study alone cannot provide. From the Exodus and Joshua to the Messiah’s death, resurrection, and future restoration, the Bible shows that God works according to appointed times (Moedim) and intentional cycles—not randomness.

This message examines why the work of redemption was not finished at the cross alone, how resurrection, ascension, and the giving of the Spirit fit into the larger plan, and why Scripture points forward to a future moment when all things are truly accomplished.

By walking through Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Shavuot, and the Jubilee cycle, we see how God repeatedly offers His people fresh starts, calling them to growth, repentance, and faithful obedience as they move toward the Kingdom to come.

First Fruits and the Resurrection of the Dead | Yeshua the Firstfruits Explained

First Fruits and the Resurrection of the Dead
This teaching explains the biblical meaning of First Fruits and why Yeshua (Jesus) is called the Firstfruits of the dead. Using Scripture from Leviticus 23, 1 Corinthians 15, Acts, Ezekiel 37, and the Gospels, this message walks through the biblical feast calendar, the resurrection timeline, and the hope of the resurrection of the dead.

Unlike modern tradition, Scripture teaches that the resurrection—not an immediate afterlife—is the foundation of first‑century faith. This video examines how First Fruits, Passover, and Unleavened Bread align perfectly with the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua, fulfilling both Torah and prophecy.

Topics covered include:

  • The Wave Sheaf / First Fruits offering
  • Why Yeshua rose on First Fruits
  • The resurrection as literal, future, and promised
  • Ezekiel’s dry bones and the first resurrection
  • The restoration of God’s Kingdom on earth

This message restores the original biblical hope: resurrection, renewal, and life in the coming Kingdom.
